how it all slips away

it all does 
slip away
in the end
that's what the scientists say

most of us take a little bit more than we are allowed
- because he did or she did, i deserve it, i need it or i want it

only a very small number of us take much much more than we are allowed
- because i can, no one will stop me, it's there, if i don't then you will

and that is how you from a lot to almost none

from trees to fish
from oil to coal
from dodos to carrier pigeons
from woolly mammoth to giant sloth

we all took more
that's what the scientists say

when we are young
it is hard to take anything
maybe we take nothing

now we are older
and our children are almost out of the house
it's not so hard to take a little
for our suffering, for the hard times when we were younger, for the long hours we were

i am old now
nothing works like it is supposed to
just put it back the way it was - i don't care what it costs
it's hard NOT to take a little
for the drugs, the specialists and the hospitals

if i didn't have the financial advisors to get a 5% annual return
i wouldn't be able to live as long

and that growth
isn't virgin birth miracle growth

more resources or more people create growth 
either way it's not unlimited

solution:
- punish extractive business <- destruction="" font="" growth="" not="">
- reward renewable business <- font="" growth="" increasing="" is="" returns="">
- share medical resources equally among all
--- is 1 day equally valuable to all ages?

triple paned glass windows or cold fusion

numbers dont lie by vaclav smil why understanding how humans hunt is essential to understanding why millions continues to be spent on cold fusion projects instead of triple paned windows. why not start with what is proven? windows. smil explains that triple glazed windows can create savings of 90% - no other opportunities for billions of units. cost 15% more. why isnt this done? because it doesnt hunt. no hunter is going to acquire large solar surplus from the being the "johnny appleseed of triple glazed windows" in the same way the way that hunters can create surplus gains from investing the chance at discovering and controlling cold fusion. why are large surpluses found at the frontier - fusion vs windows? the chance at property rights. there are no 10x or 10,000x multiples for investors in triple glazing. all the benefits from paying to replace acrue to the homeowner. the key is to find the right investor. utilities will offer rebates to install energy efficiencies. since ...

Studying how humans hunt is crucial

 Studying how humans hunt is crucial as resource limits are reached and boundaries are crossed. How humans hunt as a field of study has been overlooked in favour of history, political science, geography, anthropology or economics for studying conflict. They are unable to predict or model outcomes that are outside of their field of study. Studying the unique ways humans has been completely missing from existing disciplines. 1. what are the ways that humans hunt that are shared with animals? 1. what are ways do human human that are unique to humans? 1. with agriculture what species controls the largest share of gains? 1. what species is best target for hunting? 1. what special hunting techniques have developped unique to that species? 1. how does hunting lead to rise and fail of civilizations? Studying the way humans hunt has been missing for the religious narrative traditions. For thousands of years gods and prophets have spoken and taught and yet we have gone from city collapse to ...
